I saw two today in NW Arkansas. If I had remembered this post I would have grabbed one for you :(
A little too far for me to go back tomorrow, else I would.

(On a side note I picked up a new series 8 today, now I need a m/l starlight 41 mm)


Way to be a tease!

Congrats on the new watch purchase. I don’t like the new sizing types at all. I have a small wrist and always use their smallest type band though now a S/M from apple doesn’t fit me at all. I’ve yet to try a new M/L sport band.



Done! Just for clarification, I am on the hunt for the nIke spruce aura Velcro loop. Someone here brought up to me apparently there’s the spruce aura silicone band out in the wild too.

Oof. It was the silicone one! I wish it had been 41 mm because pretty colors lol
I was able to exchange my open box with s/m for a new watch with m/l and save some money at the same time.

I think my Abyss Blue that I got for $12 is taking the long route to me.
 
What is the consensus on bands not supple *brand new out of box*. I do recall a thread or 2 stating -some- variations have been not as supple *brand new*

1st Band I second glanced it. BNIB - seller I have bought from prior (macbouts) . The Plum band is the 1st band I've had to double take a look at the box and markings as it doesn't have that nice supple feeling out of the box.

The entire series 6 sport band line was like that—return it and get the solo loop! The colors are richer for that collection as well. 🤣

Band alert in Marshall’s stores! YMMV as always with discount stores.

Found today in a PA store, all 40mm. (Unfortunately for me as I have a 45mm series 7 Watch)

Capri blue sport band
Deep navy sport loop
Nike purple pulse sport loop

P.S. I am still on the hunt for a sealed/new 44mm Nike spruce aura Velcro sport loop that was in stores last month!
